Chapter 347 Only One Condition Needs to Be Agreed To
Not long after.
Under Huo Wu's leadership.
Shui Bing'er arrived at the hot spring lake located deep within the Blazing Fire Academy.
This warm environment, filled with fire-attribute energy, naturally made Shui Bing'er, an ice-attribute soul master, feel uncomfortable.
Although it wasn't her first time at Blazing Academy, it was her first time venturing deep into the academy.
After all, Blazing Fire Academy itself was built on a fiery mountain, and the academy's interior was located very close to the center of the fiery mountain.
In Shui Bing'er's perception, the fire-attribute energy here was incredibly concentrated, even to the point of being viscous.
When the fire-attribute energy landed on my body, I could clearly feel a scorching and explosive aura, just like the soul power aura I felt from Huo Wu during our previous soul sparring.
At the same time, the fire elemental energy falling on the body also brought a burning sensation, as if the skin was on fire.
This made Shui Bing'er, who had an ice-attribute physique, feel extremely uncomfortable. She had to secretly activate her soul power, which swirled around her body and emitted a cold aura, forming a protective layer to resist the invasion of the surrounding fire-attribute energy.
The scorching environment deep within the Blazing Academy wasn't exactly friendly to Shui Bing'er, but the hot spring water in the hot spring lake was a good thing.
The hot spring water throughout Blazing City has unique and magical effects.
In addition to relieving physical fatigue and helping Soul Masters repair internal injuries caused by cultivation.
It also has the effects of moisturizing the skin and beautifying the complexion.
This is very attractive to girls who love beauty.
Shui Bing'er was the same.
Although her constitution is ice-based, soaking in hot springs would be a little uncomfortable for her, but she is also a girl who loves beauty, so she naturally couldn't resist the temptation.
So every time she comes to Blazing City, she can't help but soak in the water a few times.
As for the discomfort caused by soaking in hot springs, you can just bear it and it will pass.
We arrived deep within the Blazing Academy.
Shui Bing'er's gaze was quickly drawn to the vast, beautiful, and tranquil hot spring lake.
I've heard that the spring water here has even better properties and stronger effects; even the warm steam in the air has a moisturizing feel.
I wonder what it would be like to soak in this hot spring lake?
If you could soak in it often, your skin would definitely be very healthy, right?
Shui Bing'er thought to herself silently, then looked up at Huo Wu, who was tall and graceful. Her gaze then shifted and landed on Huo Wu's fair hands and slender arms.
No wonder Sister Huowu's skin is so good.
As a fire-attribute soul master, her skin was not as dark or red as that of ordinary fire-attribute soul masters. Instead, it was so delicate, fair, and translucent like jade, as smooth as tofu, with an enviable pinkish hue.
It must be because they often soak in this hot spring lake.
As soon as Shui Bing'er released her icy aura, Huo Wu sensed it and also felt Shui Bing'er's discomfort.
With a thought, Huo Wu activated the Huo Ying Martial Soul within her body, absorbing the energy condensed from the fire-attribute elements in the surrounding air to alleviate the invasion of fire-attribute energy for Shui Bing'er.
Huo Wu's martial soul has now evolved into a super martial soul, allowing her to draw upon and absorb the surrounding fire elemental energy at any time.
In just a short while.
The fire element surrounding the two was completely absorbed by Huo Wu.
With Huo Wu's help to alleviate the attack of fire-attribute energy, Shui Bing'er immediately felt a sense of relief and felt much better.
After arriving at the tranquil hot spring lake.
Huo Wu continued walking forward, holding Shui Bing'er's little hand, towards where Ye Qifeng was.
The thought of seeing Ye Qifeng made Huo Wu quicken her pace.
Although she hadn't been away from Ye Qifeng for long, her heart was already filled with longing.
At this moment.
On a flat boulder by the hot spring lake.
Ye Qifeng sat cross-legged, cultivating. Around his body, terrifying fiery red energy swirled like a tornado, rushing into his body and then disappearing without a trace, its whereabouts unknown.
Ye Qifeng did not enter the Yin-Yang space in his spiritual sea to cultivate, nor did he meditate. Instead, he cultivated the Yin-Yang Heavenly Art and absorbed Yang energy.
The Yang energy around the hot spring lake is incredibly abundant, making it the best place to cultivate the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique.
Now, Ye Qifeng's soul power has reached level 55.
To have cultivated to this level at the young age of twelve is unprecedented among Soul Masters, and can even be described as terrifying.
But it's not just that.
Because of his cultivation of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Art, Ye Qifeng's soul power was compressed and solidified considerably; otherwise, his soul power level would probably be much higher.
It didn't take long.
Ye Qifeng's figure could be seen in the distance.
The moment Huo Wu saw Ye Qifeng from a distance, her pretty face was filled with joy. She grabbed Shui Bing'er, quickened her pace, and ran straight over.
Sensing that Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er were arriving together.
Ye Qifeng interrupted his cultivation, and the fiery red tornado swirling around him vanished instantly.
He then leaped lightly off the flat boulder, landing on the ground with a gentle smile on his face, and walked towards Huo Wu and Shui Bing'er.
"Xiao Feng, I've brought the person to you."
Huo Wu smiled sweetly as she approached Ye Qifeng, revealing a charming expression.
Since Ye Qifeng accepted her feelings, Huo Wu has changed how she addresses him.
Because Huo Wu is one year older than Ye Qifeng, she, like Bibi Dong, Nihuang, Liu Erlong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena, also calls Ye Qifeng "Little Feng".
Originally, Huo Wu wanted Ye Qifeng to call her by her nickname "Xiao Wu," but Ye Qifeng refused and insisted on calling her by her full name, "Huo Wu."
This made Huo Wu a little depressed.
However, Ye Qifeng has explained that he does not like the nickname "Xiao Wu".
I've heard there's a really annoying rabbit spirit with the same name, but I don't know if it's true or not.
Whether it's true or not, it's true that Ye Qifeng doesn't like this name.
Anyway, Huo Wu had already secretly decided that if she ever saw this so-called rabbit spirit again, she would definitely roast her into a dead rabbit.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mai Shiranui."
Ye Qifengchong Huowu nodded gently, her soft voice filled with affection.
"Hehe, it's not hard work."
Huo Wu chuckled, stuck out her little tongue, then pulled Shui Bing'er in front of her and introduced her to Ye Qifeng:
"Xiao Feng, this is Shui Bing'er, the heir of Tianshui City, Tianshui Academy, and the Shui family."
After saying that, she pointed her jade-like finger at Ye Qifeng and gave Shui Bing'er a brief introduction:
"Hey, Shui Bing'er, this is the person you wanted to see."
Listening to Huo Wu's introduction, Ye Qifeng looked at Shui Bing'er seriously.
At this moment, Shui Bing'er was dressed in a light blue dress suitable for combat, with the two characters "Tianshui" embroidered in silver thread, indicating her identity as a student of Tianshui Academy.
She is about 1.6 meters tall. Standing next to Huo Wu, who is over 1.7 meters tall, she looks a little petite, but her figure is very well-proportioned, neither plump nor thin.
Her long, light blue hair, matching the color of her dress, cascaded down her back. She had fair skin and delicate features. At first glance, her appearance might not seem particularly stunning, but upon closer inspection, one could discover a hazy beauty about her, the kind that grows more beautiful the more you look at her.
Ye Qifeng didn't stare at Shui Bing'er for long. He quickly looked away, placed his right hand on his left chest, and bowed slightly, performing a common greeting in the Douluo Continent:
"Miss Shui Bing'er, greetings! I am Ye Qifeng, Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. It's a pleasure to meet you. Please forgive any shortcomings in my hospitality."
Shui Bing'er caught her breath. She had been running too fast with Huo Wu and her breathing hadn't calmed down yet. For a moment, she didn't even notice what Huo Wu's first words were.
Otherwise, she might have suspected that she had been betrayed by Huo Wu.
As Shui Bing'er took a long breath and calmed down, Ye Qifeng's gentle and warm voice reached her ears.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er raised her clear, blue eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
There stood a boy, over 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a black outfit.
The boy was tall and slender, with a well-proportioned and upright figure, exuding a peaceful and serene aura.
He had delicate features and handsome face. His dark eyes were as deep as the sea and as dazzling as the stars, making people unable to resist looking at him and wanting to immerse themselves in them.
The faint smile on his face didn't feel unpleasant; instead, it gave people a warm, easygoing, and approachable feeling, making people want to get close to him.
It's such a strange yet so comfortable feeling!
Shui Bing'er was stunned for a moment.
Looking at the black-clad youth before her, for some reason, she, who was usually calm and rational, suddenly felt a little nervous. Her heartbeat quickened slightly, and her breathing became a little rapid.
"Hello, I am Shui Bing'er, from Tianshui City, Tianshui Academy."
After a moment, Shui Bing'er came to her senses, quickly shook her head, suppressed the strange feeling rising in her heart, bent her waist slightly, returned the greeting to Ye Qifeng, and introduced herself.
"Hey, wait a minute, what did you just say? You said you're the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall?"
Just a short while after introducing herself, Shui Bing'er suddenly remembered what Ye Qifeng had just said: the other party was actually the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.
"Yes, without a doubt, I am indeed the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!"
Seeing Shui Bing'er's shocked expression, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but smile and nodded affirmatively at her.
Shui Bing'er looked on in disbelief, then turned her gaze to Huo Wu beside her, hoping to get a definite answer from Huo Wu.
After all, she had never seen the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, nor did she know what he looked like.
Since this boy named Ye Qifeng is currently a guest at Blazing Fire Academy, Huo Wu should know his identity.
So she turned her attention to Huo Wu.
Seeing Shui Bing'er looking at her, Huo Wu immediately returned her a smile and nodded affirmatively.
"So it was His Highness the Holy Son in person. I apologize for my rudeness."
Having received Huo Wu's affirmative answer, Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, bowed to Ye Qifeng again, and whispered an apology.
"She is a very polite and sensible girl."
Ye Qifeng made an assessment of Shui Bing'er in his mind.
"It's alright. Not many people know my identity, so Miss Shui Bing'er's reaction is perfectly normal. There's no need for her to apologize to me."
Ye Qifeng waved his hand casually, then looked at Shui Bing'er and pleaded:
"However, I hope Miss Shui Bing'er can keep my identity a secret."
"no problem."
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er stared intently at Ye Qifeng's face for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly in agreement.
"Thank you very much."
Ye Qifeng thanked her, his gaze fixed on Shui Bing'er, but in his heart he was thinking:
"Huo Wu once said that Shui Bing'er is a girl with a strong, independent, and selfless personality. She values the collective interests of Tianshui City, Tianshui Academy, and the Shui family more than her own."
"In that case, it might not be easy to get Tianshui City to submit to the Spirit Hall by starting with Shui Bing'er."
"Forget about Tianshui City for now. Let's leave it to our teacher. With his intelligence and abilities, he has plenty of ways to subdue Tianshui City."
"For now, let's keep Shui Bing'er by Huo Wu's side first."
"It's probably unlikely that we can subdue Shui Bing'er with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, but if we get her to agree to a few requests or do a few small things, she probably won't refuse."
Once he made up his mind, Ye Qifeng spoke gently and asked:
"Miss Shui Bing'er, you've come to see me today, surely for some rare medicinal herbs?"
"Yes, I did come for the rare medicinal herbs."
Upon hearing the question, Shui Bing'er didn't hesitate and readily nodded in acknowledgment:
"I heard from Sister Huowu that His Highness the Holy Son possesses a rare, ice-attribute celestial herb, so I'm thinking..."
"You want this divine herb?"
Ye Qifeng interrupted Shui Bing'er, and with a gentle swipe of his left hand, a snow-white herb appeared in the palm of his right hand in the blink of an eye.
It was the same celestial herb that was both mutually reinforcing and mutually destructive to the fiery apricot—the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
The moment the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass appeared in the air, an area within a ten-meter radius was instantly enveloped by a strangely cold aura.
This chilling aura was so intense that it penetrated to the bone marrow, making one feel cold and numb, even to the point of paralysis.
Faced with this strangely cold aura, Ye Qifeng didn't feel much. As soon as he activated the Yin-Yang Heavenly Technique within his body, the coldness that had invaded his body instantly disappeared.
Huo Wu, standing next to her, didn't feel much either. After all, she had taken the Fiery Apricot Delight, which was enough to resist the coldness of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.
However, Shui Bing'er's feelings were somewhat different.
The moment the chilling aura enveloped her, she felt incredibly comfortable. If Ye Qifeng and Huo Wu hadn't been there, she would have groaned out loud.
Shui Bing'er's constitution is inherently ice-attribute, and this cold energy is more like a tonic for her, causing her soul power to become somewhat restless.
Not only that.
Shui Bing'er's Ice Phoenix Martial Soul was also throbbing violently, conveying an emotion of longing.
This was something she had never experienced before.
Staring at the snow-white herb in Ye Qifeng's hand, Shui Bing'er was completely stunned.
The herb was pure white, with a large, eight-pointed white flower at its top. The center of the flower was dotted with tiny, shimmering, ice-crystal-like stamens.
The entire herb emitted no fragrance, but it exuded a strange, cold aura that felt both familiar and desirable to her.
Shui Bing'er subconsciously swallowed, her breathing became more rapid, and her heart pounded. Her bright blue eyes, as clear as autumn water, practically screamed "I want it."
"What is the name of this rare and precious medicinal herb?"
After a long pause, Shui Bing'er finally suppressed her excitement and longing and asked a question.
"This divine herb is called—Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass!"
Night Wind replied.
"The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, that does fit its image quite well."
Shui Bing'er murmured softly, then turned her gaze away from the octagonal ice grass and looked seriously at Ye Qifeng:
"Your Highness, what is needed to exchange for this Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass?"
"Nothing is needed."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng smiled and shook his head.
"What do you mean?"
Shui Bing'er was slightly taken aback.
"It's very simple."
A bright smile appeared on Ye Qifeng's face as he looked at her delicate features and said softly:
"If Miss Shui Bing'er wants this Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass, she only needs to agree to one condition."
